ORLANDO -- The Giants owners, general manager and head coach attended the NFL Meetings this week. Each provided a little insight into what can be expected from the organization this season and going forward.

Here are my 10 takeaways after analyzing and dissecting every word from owners John Mara and Steve Tisch, coach Tom Coughlin and general manager Jerry Reese:

1. Upper management is really excited about the new offense
There is an impression that offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo will really take them into the 21st century. Does that mean going out there and tossing it around the yard 50 times per game? No. But it does mean they expect a more spread-em-out, innovative system with less two-back sets and power running formations. The Giants front office believes it was the perfect solution to spruce up the situation while remaining loyal to a head coach that won them a pair of Super Bowls.

2. No getting away from the pass rush
The final results to date in free agency say the Giants have shifted the emphasis on defense from their pass rush to the secondary. But that's not because of a philosophical change in the organization. It's just the way everything worked out in free agency. The Giants were looking for a top cornerback all along, but never expected to land two players they considered among the best on the market. When the Giants signed Walter Thurmond, they didn't expect to get Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, too. The opportunity just so happened to present itself, and they took it. They didn't see the same value in the defensive end market. The Giants like to get their defensive ends from the draft (i.e. cheap and young), rather than pay premium dollars for them mid-career as free agents.

3. Thinking TE Eric Ebron
There seems to be a feeling among league insiders that the Giants are going to draft North Carolina tight end Eric Ebron with the 12th pick. That's not to say anyone really knows their plan. It's just what the general assumption around the league seems to be after seeing what they've done with their roster in free agency.

4. Eli's loss of confidence
One of the primary reasons the organization is so insistent that Eli Manning will bounce back from such a horrific season is they feel that their quarterback's struggles in large part had to do with a lack of confidence in his offensive line. Coughlin mentioned it several times during the NFC Coaches Breakfast. Mara mentioned it, too. They think -- and hope -- an improved offensive line and Manning's overall resiliency will make for a redemptive 2014.

5. Pressure on Coughlin?
This isn't going to be an easy season for Coughlin. He has a new offensive coordinator, new offense and a drastically changed roster. It usually takes an adjustment period (half a season, at least) before those things often come together. But the pressure is on Coughlin. Both Giants owners downplayed those fears of a slow start by noting it's the head coach's job to pull everything together quickly and make it work. Sounds like they expect Coughlin to win, and win now. No time for retooling.

6. Missing Kevin Boothe
When asked about the loss of defensive end Justin Tuck in the locker room, Coughlin mentioned only one other player -- offensive lineman Kevin Boothe. Something tells me Coughlin really would have liked to have Boothe back as a safety net at guard and center.

7. Get ready for some screen passes
When Coughlin talked about his new playbook, the first type of play he mentioned was a screen pass. When he talked about new running back Rashad Jennings, one of the first things he noted was his ability on screen passes. Expect a heavy dose of screen passes this upcoming season.

8. All in Rueben Randle's head
The Giants' brass thinks very highly of Rueben Randle's talent. They are confident he has the ability to be a quality starting wide receiver in the NFL alongside Victor Cruz. What Randle apparently needs to improve in order to make the leap? It's all upstairs. "Rueben has to continue to develop and continue to become a better pro -- focus, concentration, consistency, day in and day out, practice day in and out," Coughlin said. It's all mental with Randle at this point.

9. Nicks needed a change
Speaking of wide receiver, Coughlin hinted that Hakeem Nicks had become too comfortable, maybe even lackadaisical, in his spot with the Giants, and that maybe he didn't quite work as hard as he needed to in recent years. Coughlin wished him well, but also noted it was probably best for his career to receive a wakeup call in free agency.

10. Whoops, my bad. Sorry, Roger
Coughlin will likely get a call from the league office in regards to his comments about John Jerry. The NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell are trying protecting themselves from future litigation involving Richie Incognito and the Jonathan Martin incident. They are doing everything possible to make sure Incognito, Jerry and Mike Pouncey are given similar treatment for their alleged inappropriate harassment of Martin. Even though the league may have told the Giants behind closed doors Jerry likely won't be suspended, Coughlin wasn't supposed to tell that to the world on Wednesday. The NFL needs to go through a process first that protects its own backside.
